Crow Attack

In 1963 Melanie Daniels suffered a attack by tons of gulls. Fortunately the attack wasn’t real and her name was fictitious. Tippi Hedren was the american actress who performed the role of a millionaire magnate´s daugther. ‘Birds’ is one of the most famous movies by Alfred Hitchok and a classic film. Sorry for disappointing you. Honestly this is not a review article, but an excuse to let you know an embarrasing experience.  

I remembered the scene where Melanie is being attacked by the gulls as a result of a hazardous episode which happened in my life. I have been a victim of a crow attack. It ocurred this afternoon while I was ambling on my way home. I heard a bird flying near to me and when I looked up at the sky I realized it had tried to attack me.

At first I thought I had got rid of the crow but when I saw it was attacking me again and again I started getting nervous. It didn’t help me when I shook my bag to scare the brave black bird. It was more agressive and persistent. You can’t imagine how frightened I was. I am a hunter and I have never wanted to kill other bird much more than it. But without a shotgun in my hands I ran into my house to avoid the pecks of the crow. It followed me for an endless couple of minutes until I turned the corner. The scene was quite ridiculous. A man escaping from the claws of a bird. The next 200 hundred metres until reaching my room weren’t easy because I constanstly span my head to check the animal wasn’t behind of me.      

A note:

Australian bicycle riders are used to protect into their heads with helmets, which are covered by plastic bridles. It’s the way to keep magpies far away because the brightness of the helmets pay its attention but I didn´t know crows could be attracted for the same reasons. The picture I upload doesn’t correspond with the same crow which attacked me today. I deserve to live in peace. 

From Brisbane with all my Love

Brisbane River.

Story Bridge.

First 31 hours I have spent out of home haven't been bad at all, taking into account the number of stopovers. Appart from an unexpected happen, solved on the way to the aeroplane, and a stopover at Singapor airport, I was able to know more lavatories in a few hours than in 28 years. I have been sleeping 5 extra hours yesterday and three more today, after walking around Brisbane river. Along my walk (for 6 hours) I found different animals. I drop you some postcards from Brisbane with all my love. Here you can see crows and doves, but also iguanas and wildlife, such as you can see in the photographies. It´s not time for comments because currently all is being anecdotic. For example, the taxi driver who brought me from the airport to the backpacker since where i am writing now this post. I am sure I helped him more than me. His GPS didnt know the street where we were going to, I had to look up a map I got at the airport to find the street and then he checked it at Yellow Pages. “Do you know if my neigbourhood is dangerous?” “All Australia is dangerous. In your suburb you´ll find people are drunk, a lot of pubs, streaptease…”. (Bad life you would be here, dear Sepu).

I was quieter since I left the cab (australian taxi), after paying 45 australian dollars and take out my suitcases by myself. Without saying goodbye, ¿true my appreciated taxi driver? Remember it.

My family didnt trust arab airline, and after all, it has been my best experience. A box of presents: blanket, toothbrush, toothpaste, food each 5 hours, and drink each 2 hours. Moreover, every passenger has a  personal screen to watch movies, serials, play... Never ever  I have eaten so much for being on a seat. 

Answering a repetitive question what most of you make me, I will tell you Australia has been since its birth a country of inmigrants, with a strong presence of asian continent. If you are asking me how about australian women?, I will answer you, dude, ¿do you like asian fellows?
